We had an exciting evening yesterday at Sheema Playground as we enjoyed the final of the Ankole Cup between Ibanda and Bushenyi.
Congratulations to Ibanda on winning the cup. Congratulations to Bushenyi for making it to the final. It was a thrilling evening that brought people together through the love of sport.
Sports are important for our health, talent development, and social bonding. We need more competitions like @Ankolecup to bring our communities together and provide opportunities for young people to showcase their talent.
I pledged, on behalf of the Ankole MPs, that we will lobby for the construction of a standard football stadium in Ankole to support sports development.
I thank @mkainerugaba for the generous contribution that spiced up the finals. It was timely. I also appreciate my brother @BalaamBarugahar, our @PLUsecretariat General Secretary, @HonTwallafadil, all other senior PLU leaders, and the MPs from Ankole especially our hosts @HonKateshD and @AdrineKats who joined us for the evening.
Well done to @MushabeOsborn and your team for the excellent organization. Count on us for the 2027 edition.
Can Rwampara pull off a memorable comeback vs Ntungamo like Barcelona against PSG?
Or produce a Liverpool-style second-half turnaround like the famous 2005 Champions League final against AC Milan that eventually led to a penalty shootout?
It’s not over until it’s over!

The sacking of Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager is not just a football decision — it is a public confession of institutional failure.
It confirms what many have known for years: Manchester United do not have a rebuilding problem, they have a leadership problem.
Amorim was not hired to perform miracles with a broken squad. He was hired because he represents modern football intelligence, structure, and identity. A manager who builds systems, develops players, and demands coherence from top to bottom. And yet, just like his predecessors, he was thrown into chaos and judged by results alone — stripped of context, patience, and support.
You cannot preach “long-term vision” and panic at short-term discomfort.
You cannot demand identity while denying time.
You cannot sell a rebuild and then fire the builder halfway through the foundation.
That contradiction is Manchester United’s true culture now.
Amorim inherited a squad assembled by multiple managers with conflicting philosophies, bloated contracts, inconsistent profiles, and a mentality damaged by years of instability. Players not recruited for his system were suddenly expected to execute it. That is not elite management — that is sabotage disguised as ambition.
And yet, despite all this, Amorim did what serious managers do:
•He demanded standards.
•He challenged power structures.
•He refused to be reduced to a “head coach” without authority.
•He tried to impose identity over chaos.
Those are not sackable offenses.
Those are leadership traits.
If results alone were the measure, then United would have learned by now that cycling managers does not fix structural rot. Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjær, Rangnick, Ten Hag — all different men, all different ideas, all arriving at the same wall.
When the pattern repeats this often, the problem is not the individual.
It is the system.
Sacking Amorim sends a damaging message:
•To future managers: “You won’t be protected.”
•To players: “Outlast the coach and you win.”
•To fans: “Trust the process — until we abandon it.”
Great clubs endure discomfort to build greatness.
Broken clubs chase comfort and call it ambition.
What makes this sacking even more damning is the timing. Rebuilds are not linear. They involve friction, resistance, exposed flaws, and painful honesty. Amorim was in that phase — the phase where weak foundations are revealed and difficult decisions are required. Instead of backing him through it, the club chose the familiar escape route: sack the manager, reset the narrative, repeat the cycle.
This is not ruthlessness.
This is fear.
Fear of criticism.
Fear of short-term backlash.
Fear of accountability at board level.
And until that fear is addressed, no manager — not even the most talented — will succeed.
Ruben Amorim did not fail Manchester United.
Manchester United failed Ruben Amorim.
And years from now, when he succeeds elsewhere with proper structure and authority, this decision will be remembered not as “necessary,” but as yet another chapter in a long book of self-inflicted decline.
A serious club would have stood firm.
Manchester United folded.
